Is Trust flow the only thing which we have to keep in mind while registering expired domain? I thought RD and incoming links are more important and hence selected this domain. I am new to this so guidance from BHW members is highly appreciated.
Have a read of these mate

Yep, as said above, TF seems to be really low. The TF / CF ratio is not that good. That's not the only thing to look at but this domain doesn't seem that interesting.

Don't go with the metrics just check the quality of the links and anchor text if it has some good ones then its a win

Ya I think you gotta go for the auctions, expired domains is like the garbage pile that nobody wants.

Thanks for guiding me and sharing some wonderful links to study @MisterF after reading all the post and specially the one written by @Nargil I dig it more dipper and found another top level domain in my niche, below are its metric and more info about the same.
1) Still the pages of this domain shows indexed in google, i check like site:sitename.com
2) Site was build on wordpress and was focusing on my niche only.
3) All anchor text have keyword rich anchors related with the niche.
Pls check screenshots below
My only purpose is to redirect this domain to my money site to get ranking.

Redirecting RD20 domain won't make any difference whatsoever. Try RD500+ and then you might actually see some results.

You guys worry too much about TF.

Referring domains is most important - the number and the domains themselves. At the end of the day, thats basically what you are buying : backlinks from those sites.
Remember all of those metrics - TF, CF, DA, DR etc. are only to give you a rough idea. They can often be manipulated, and even when they are not, they are not actually used by Google. So they only mean so much.
If you find a domain thats got 100 referring domains that are all authority sites, or strong sites closely related to your niche, then its a golden nugget.

TF is the major issue on the ranking factor. You can research high PA, DA, TF, CF, DR, and Backlink Profile also.

Today i found many expired domains with TF and CF above 20, RD 50+, but the problem is they are not in my niche, they are totally in different niche. I am in health niche and the domains I found are in tourism and ecommerce stores, will they be of any help in pushing my ranking upwords ?

Maybe, maybe not. Nobody can tell you conclusively, but it does not sound like a great start.
Instead of spending hours trying to find a cheap expired domain, why not just buy a domain from a reseller or using a fresh one that you know is clean. The time you will save can be used to write content and build backlinks that will be worth more than the expired domain very soon.
